I don’t have a lot of money after my accident how am I going to afford an attorney?

What many people do not realize is that attorneys work on a contingency basis. That means you do not pay for your attorney’s representation unless you win your case. The fee for your attorney’s services is usually a percentage of the recovery.

Do not hesitate to contact an attorney after your accident. You should not go up against insurance companies and the other party’s lawyer alone. Keep in mind that insurance companies would rather you settle early and fast for less. Once you settle with an insurance company, the door is closed to obtaining any further compensation if you find out later.
